The Rogue Prince of Persia

Evil Empire of Dead Cells fame has confirmed that The Rogue Prince of Persia will launch out of Steam Early Access in August. The developer offers a quick showreel of the updates and changes made to the roguelite since it first entered early access. Check it out below.

Like Dead Cells, The Rogue Prince of Persia is a side-scrolling action platformer where players can unlock new weapons, Medallions, and Talents for different builds. The objective is to stop an invading army from destroying the Kingdom of Persia and saving the Prince’s family (with the help of a mysterious time loop).

Similar to other Prince of Persia titles, you’ll also engage in some platforming, wall-running and sliding through environments while evading deadly traps. The latest update recently overhauled the game’s Medallions, dividing them into different rarities while also revamping looters. This is alongside new weapons, further polish to traversal, and more.

Stay tuned for details on Version 1.0 in the coming months. You can check out our review for the early access version when it first launched here.
